Suge Knight reportedly got into a fight this afternoon on the set of a film project in Compton, ran over a man who later died, and then later fled the scene.
According to TMZ sources, a movie was being filmed with Ice Cube and Dr. Dre when Suge pulled up in his car. Security then told Suge to leave, and that’s when a fight broke out between Suge and 2 men.
Suge allegedly got back into his car, threw the vehicle in reverse and ran over a man, who suffered fatal injuries.
Sources close to Suge tell TMZ the 2 men who fought Suge were the instigators. TMZ sources say Suge was scared because he’s in frail health — in addition to being shot 6 times last summer, he recently almost died from a blood clot.
The victim has been identified by TMZ as Terry Carter, who is a friend of Suge’s and reportedly arrived with him at the scene. Carter is said to have been in the process of walking to the passenger door of Suge’s vehicle but happened to be in the rear when Suge slammed the vehicle into reverse.
Two other men were also struck, including Cle “Bone” Sloane, who appeared in Training Day and End of Watch and suffered non-life threatening injuries. Both men are currently hospitalized.
